I am considering orange with a white hocky stripe, not sure about the spoiler or how I can add some contrast to the front (hood). Would anyone have a pic of an orange Cuda with white stripe? What would a wing look like in white, and would I paint the tail section in white too? I dont care for the painted hood scoops on the bulge hood but was considering some type of painting up the middle. Any and all ideas will be examined. Thanks!

PS: I need one Cuda emblem, both front fender wheel well trim pieces, a slap stick knob, the plymouth emblem for the hood PLUS the 2 340 four barell emblems. Used would be fine, not a show car.

Hey George!!
What was the original color of that car again?

I have always liked Vitaman C with a Black stripe but others have told me that's a little too Halloween

The '73 stripe looks better then the '72 IMHO but the hockey stripe would look good too

Orange and black might be too Halloween, but your idea sounds a little too Creamsicle. No offence, but don't go overboard on the white. Keep it real...

Thanks guys.......it would sure help to see a pic of an orange one with a white stripe, but as far as I can tell, they were not produced that way. I agree, the orange and black are OK, but that brings up another question, like what shade of orange. I read that the Vitamin c and Tor Red were very similar, what other options are there for this shade?

Doesnt someone have a slapstick handle, some old emblems, or front wheel opening moldings? Hey, it spring, get those garages cleaned out....I just did.][/color]

My '72 was Vitamin C with a white stripe and I had a neighbor that had one too. Probably the most common color combos in '72.

That paint was long gone when I got it

How about White with Orange stripes, or Black with Orange stripes. They would certainly look different.

More good stuff! Im guessing the orange 72 had the 72 stripe, but I was considering the hocky stick and would like to see what it looks like. THe black paint/orange stripe would be OK if I had a good body, but the white is an idea?

Still looking for some inexpensive used parts sources....emblems/ATshift knob, front wheel moldings.

Thanks, GP

The car isn't orange, but the hood treatment is interesting! Did someone say headlights?
